Horoscope: May 26, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19

Your ruler Mars is retrograde and also moving from your fellow fire sign of Sagittarius into the rather precise Scorpio. During this period you’ll delve into numerous situations that have concerned you but which you’ve had no idea how to deal with. At long last, you’ll know exactly what you need to do.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20

There’s no avoiding the issues you’re currently facing. While you’d rather deal with them once, and properly, others seem to think there’s no need to tackle these in depth. Ignore their devil may care attitude, even if this means you must handle matters solo. You’ll be glad you did.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20

Sometimes obstacles are no more than that. However, the issues being triggered by the current planetary setup are exposing serious misunderstandings, probably by others about one particular plan or arrangement. If nothing leaps to mind, ask those around you about their concerns. Their responses will tell you everything you need to know.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Although everybody notices the build up of energy prior to each Full Moon, as was the case with last Saturday’s, the mood afterwards will become more subdued by the day. This gives you a welcome opportunity to reflect on what you’ve done, and learnt, and to consider what’s next on your agenda.

Leo | July 23 – August 22

If you sense somebody is keeping certain facts under wraps, it’s probably true. While there are facts we all avoid mentioning, possibly because they’d be upsetting or are strictly personal, in this case it’s vital everybody be fully aware of this information, even if it seems to be of little importance.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22

At the time of the emotionally intense Full Moon, last Saturday, you were aware of certain powerful undercurrents of feeling, but unsure about their origin or how to deal with them. Now that some time has passed, it’s the ideal moment to raise and discuss these. It will be far easier than you imagine.

Libra | September 23 – October 22

The forthright Mars is moving to accent the use of your resources, that is, your money, but also your time, ideas and even your affections. You’ll realise you must express your feelings about the actions of certain individuals. This is timely. If you don’t speak up, they’ll continue exactly as they have.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21

The news is good, but it won’t necessarily be recognisable as such, at least now. Knowing that, focus on learning as much as you can about the practical or financial side of the situation in question. Once these facts are clear, you can then wait and watch, and learn from those observations.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21

Every Sagittarian knows, and has to deal with, certain unimaginative individuals. They may be in your personal life, neighbours or colleagues. Whatever the case, you’re usually able to sidestep their tedious demands. Now, however, you not only can’t ignore them, ultimately those practical restrictions will be in your best interests.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19

It may be that you weren’t paying attention when you made certain agreements or, possibly, since then the facts have changed. Whatever the case, it’s vital you both review plans and discuss the situation with others now. Once you do, there’ll be no question that a serious rethink is urgent.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17

Mercury may be a very small planet, but its influence is far-reaching, as you’ll have found out while it was retrograde. While it’s resumed forward motion, untangling the resulting errors is bound to take time. Don’t rush this process. There’s a great deal to be learnt from each and every dilemma.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Not only are Pisceans rarely stubborn, in the past you’ve struggled with being overly influenced by the views, ideas or suggestions of others. But now, suddenly, it’s the reverse and you’ve strong convictions about an arrangement that’s upsetting. You may change your stance eventually, but for now, stand your ground.
